Ciresi to make it official?
Minneapolis Attorney Mike Ciresi is expected to make an important political announcement next week.
Three Ciresi representatives told MPR's Tim Pugmire the Democrat plans an announcement Wednesday morning at a St. Paul public school. The time and location have not been determined.
Ciresi said in February he was laying the foundation for another U.S. Senate campaign. He lost the DFL primary in 2000 to Mark Dayton.
If he makes it offical, Ciresi would join comedian Al Franken in the field of candidates seeking the DFL endorsement to run in 2008 against incumbent Republican Norm Coleman.
Ciresi is known for handling several high-profile legal cases, including the State of Minnesota's successful lawsuit against the tobacco industry.
